Hi,

I think the usefulness comes from developers wants to see what are the
modules are using by the running kernel in formatted way.
This is very simple way to enlist all the modules with descriptions of
it.So , they can easily parse it with other scripts.

IMHO, this is a good thing to have. I can even imagine it shipped by
distros, for better bug reports.

OTOH, if it's about the currently running kernel and loaded modules, why
not putting this into /proc or /sys ?

The reason being not putting in the /proc or /sys is, it is not
dynamically generated stuff. This is small script which do a specific
task ,out of the information available in /proc or /sys.

And essentially resides in the scripts directory for easy finding and
using.
